Last week, there was yet another deadly shooting in an American school. This happens all the time, but that doesn't mean that it's normal. Don't go numb, and don't let Congress continue to do nothing. Our children deserve to be safe at school.

Action

Call our Senators and Representatives, and demand that they keep fighting to protect our children from guns.

Sen. Patty Murray:--DC 202-224-2621; Seattle 206-553-5545

Sen. Maria Cantwell--DC 202-224-3441; Seattle 206-220-6400

Rep. Pramila Jayapal--DC 202-225-3106; Seattle 206-674-0040

Rep. Adam Smith--DC 202-225-8901; Renton 425-793-5180

Script

Hi, my name is [NAME], and I'm calling from [CITY, ZIP]. I'm calling today to tell [Senator/Representative] that I am furious that yet again, a group of high school kids was terrorized at school by an armed shooter, and that they had to watch many of their friends die, simply because Congress would not act to take a stand on gun violence. This needs to stop. I want [Senator/Representative] to do everything they can to reduce the number of guns in America, and protect our kids from being shot. It is not normal. It is not OK. It is your job to make sure it never happens again.
